''The Fall of the Berlin wall on the 9th November 1989, represents for all of us a highly symbolic date that paved the way to dismantlement of the Iron Curtain that divided the whole of Europe,'' stated Gunther Krug, addressing the Congress Plenary Session, on 13 October, on the occasion of the 20th anniversary of the Fall of the wall. ''We in the Congress are all convinced that citizens’ political expectations are best dealt with at the local level. A lesson that we need to learn from this turning point in our common European History is that ignoring the people’ s will cannot pave the way to a stable democracy.''
